For 22 years, this much-anticipated tradition has brought together students, faculty, staff, and the Evansville community for a common cause: fighting hunger. You’ll have the unique opportunity to purchase beautifully handcrafted ceramic bowls, each one lovingly created by UE's talented art department members. Even better, a large portion of the proceeds will be donated to support local food agencies in their mission to tackle hunger in our area.

This tradition offers the community the chance to own one-of-a-kind, handmade bowls, all while supporting our students and community. It's a wonderful way to showcase our creativity and craftsmanship, while giving back to the community. The funds raised allow us to continue fostering innovation and hands-on experiences in changing the world. ~Todd Matteson, Department Chair & Associate Professor of Art.

Bowls will range in price from $10 to $100, and each purchase comes with a hearty serving of chili, courtesy of Chartwells Dining Services. It’s the perfect excuse to grab a bowl, savor some chili, and catch up with friends while supporting a fantastic cause!
